Moses Campus
Moses Campus is home to our Medical, Surgical, Cardiothoracic and Neuroscience Intensive Care Units (ICUs). In each of these units, our fellows manage treatment plans and procedures while working alongside an attending, residents and critical-care physician assistants. Our fellows sharpen their critical care medicine skills using advanced technologies to care for patients following heart, lung and liver transplants, as well as complex neurosurgery patients.
Jack D. Weiler Hospital, Einstein Campus
Located on the Einstein Campus, Jack D. Weiler Hospital is adjacent to our Albert Einstein College of Medicine. Our Division of Critical Care Medicine runs a 15-bed Medical Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and a 16-bed combined Cardiothoracic and Surgery ICU.
Wakefield Campus
The Wakefield Medical-Surgical ICU is a 16-bed combined ICU that admits approximately 75+ patients per month. Fellows get the opportunity to rotate in this ICU where they work with internal medicine residents in the management of critically ill patients. This unit provides a different experience of critical care compared to Weiler and Moses campus, resulting in robust training for our fellows.
